Goff's blog community is feminist - his comment is very relevant to the ongoing discussion on his blog to which the Assange case is incidental.

Have you actually read it ? I don't see how you conclude that "Goff's blog community is feminist" and this is certainly false "discussion on his blog to which the Assange case is incidental". There are comments about the facts rather than feminist principles.  Goff IS concerned about the Assange case itself:

It could be true," is the true statement that gets planted with the(sic) even the false accusation.

Again, I trust reality to be what it is without my blessing; but if this is a tactic by the ruling class, it is more effective by far because it leaves that steady drip drip drip of doubt, no matter what.

So I want to acknowledge that if this is a tactic to cast a permanent shadow on Assange, it is an effective one; and if that shadow of doubt is then also meant to fall on the leaks themselves... again, it is a successful tactic.

From the comments:

robert wood:

Whether he committed rapes or not, the information wasn't leaked by him,it was leaked by people working for the government. Rape could really ruin his credibility. Lets just hope the accusations are false.

If the info in this link is true, it may help to clarify the wider context for the allegation against Assange

Winston Warfield:

Regardless of Assange's guilt or innocence (I believe he's been setup), it is, you're right, an effective public relations strategy to paint him as a rapist.
